Well, you could make sure that Firefox proxy setting is set correctly (see Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings in Firefox 3, Firefox 1/2 should be similar). If it looks correct (you can compare with windows settings), maybe you can copy and paste the result of executing ifconfig in the terminal. You sure you could ping google.com? Because if that is so, seems like the problem is definitely at your browser level. Did you try pinging your modem webpage? Also attempt telneting to the modem webpage: e.g. telnet 192... 80. It should not display any error (an empty line will show up, indicating that the web server is awaiting you to type HTTP request, just press Ctrl+D if this happens--meaning your network settings are all correct).
